ABOUT TEST PRESSINGS

Signatures may vary in position, size and style. All signatures are 100% guaranteed authentic by Mack Avenue Music Group.

Before the large-scale production of a vinyl record, a small number of copies are pressed to test quality and fine-tune any audio that may need adjustment. Once this process is approved, Mack Avenue makes an extremely limited quantity of these test pressings available to the general public. Packaged in a simple white jacket, these collectible test pressings are available in extremely limited quantities. Bring home a rare version of your favorite album today!
